<div class="">3) Buy one of those mini keyboard
remotes that can be used with Android. You'd
have a full keyboard. Most of them work with a
radio signal and you don't have to use line of
sight like with an IR remote. Some tilt (they
have some kind of gyroscope) and they have
really awkward mouse control. Some of them have
a touchpad, like a laptop, and you can move the
pointer with that. They're cheap, probably less
than $25<br class="">

<div class="">I bought this one: <a href="http://a.co/d/2lJGK6R" class="" moz-do-not-send="true">http://a.co/d/2lJGK6R</a> and
it's not available but there are several others (This
one is Amazon's Choice: <a href="http://a.co/d/4SHvnFH" class="" moz-do-not-send="true">http://a.co/d/4SHvnFH</a> and
as you can see, it's less than $15).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If you go this route, I'd look around for
the one you want as you're the one who is going to
have to use it. Some have touch pads and some don't.
You can find these remotes all over the internet.<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It's just $15 bucks and you can use it in
just about any USB device. It emulates a keyboard.
You can program a few IR commands too like your TV
Power. Mine learns commands from another remote
control but only for a few buttons. It works pretty
much out of the box; there is almost no configuration
needed.</div>

<div class="">I too have one of the remotes you link to above with the
‘gyro mouse’ I rarely use that function with mythtv as all the
other buttons on the arrow/media control side function fine for
most mythtv functionality. I did do an xmodmap to map some of
the media control side buttons to mythtv functions. Here is the
contents of my xmodmap that I used:</div>

You can also use your TV remote if your TV supports CEC The
raspberry pi has CEC support built in.<br class="">
<br class="">
Make sure you go follow the recommendations in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#System_Performance">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#System_Performance</a> for the
best performance.<br class="">
